Re: ANN: Harmonic Oscillators

As a matter of fact, Jim. I've been working on that exact simulation, but so 
far have not been able to make it work. Perhaps, I could work with you off-line 
to come up with the right equation of motion?

Thanks and cheers,
Roger

 Roger,
 
 The simulation makes for a good tutorial.
 
 Here is another that may interest you.
 
 Newton considered, as a thought experiment, a cannon ball fired from the top 
 of a VERY high mountain. With ever increasing muzzle velocity he speculated 
 that the canon ball would eventually circle the Earth, thus simulating the 
 motion of the moon about the Earth.
 
 (See: http://waowen.screaming.net/revision/forcemotion/ncanon.htm) 
 
 You might try  1/r, 1/r^2, 1/r^3 gravitational forces to see which produces 
 the observed results.

Amazing demostration!
Many great ideas arise, just from
watching this wonderful stack.

Thanks a lot for sharing.
Keep Up your great work!

 Not so much an exhaustive physics/math tutorial as a demonstration of some 
 techniques for doing these types of simulations/animations in LiveCode.
 
 Unfortunately, I was unable to upload to RevOnlin after repeated attempts,

You're welcome John and thanks to you and others for your kind words. 

Everything on my download page is also available at RevOnline except Harmonic 
Oscillators.  I prefer to use RevOnline because one does not need to remember 
another URL. But alas, it appears to be broken with not much interest in fixing 
it!!

Cheers,
Roger
